And im arthel neville. Thanks for joining us but stay right here. Harris faulkner is up next with the fox report. We begin with a fox urgent three scenes of terror and news unfolding on all of them at this hour. Im Harris Faulkner and this is the fox report. New york, new jersey and minnesota and explosions and mass stabbings a surreal mass of violence in the last 24 hours. Lets begin on the east coast where fox news is told the explosive device found in seaside park and new york city are believed to be from the same person. The new York Police Department commissioner said investigators are leaving no stone unturned. Right now were not discounting anything at this point. And again, were in the process of acomplex investigation determine who did this and why
they did this. Next, in minnesota, about an hours drive outside of minneapolis where a knifewielding savage went after people at a popular Shopping Mall. A claim of responsibility by the Islamic State terror army, but police are telling people not to draw any conclusions as they work to gather the facts. Here is what we know. That suspect had encounters with Police Officers on three different occasions, minor traffic violations and they did not arrest him but they had met him before. We have Fox Team Coverage on all of this. Dan spring ser standing by with the latest on minnesota. But first to bryan llenas and bryan police are looking at connection between the explosions in two locations. Reporter that is exactly right. Our rick levin thall reports that a Law Enforcement source tells him that the same person who put that bomb inside of that trash can in seaside park two hours south on the jersey shore is the same person who put the bomb just down this avenue right
now. But just to give you a sense of where im at. Im on 23rd and 5th avenue, an avenue away from where the blast happened and this is an active crime scene. They are still looking for the person or persons involved. And lets go behind me. You are now seeing an nypd flatbed, that is a tow truck and behind that was a green Subaru Outback with new jersey license plate. Weve seen investigators that have been looking at shrapnel wounds on that car, puncture wounds on the car and investigators have put on their white investigative crime scene unit suits in the last five minutes. Theyve been looking at keying in on that specific vehicle now for the last i would say about the last hour. That is what we could bring you from this crime scene. Before that, earlier this afternoon, a black toyota camry, the fbi looking at a black toyota camry parked on 39th and
madison. That vehicle had shrapnel on the left side. Presumably from the explosion. The fbi and the counterterrorism units were at that vehicle interviewing somebody but we do not know who that person was. Again, more evidence of how active this crime scene is just about less than 24 hours from when the explosion went off. We also know that Governor Andrew Cuomo and the mayor have been touring the scene earlier this morning. They saw the dumpster in which the explosion took place. The explosion to powerful that people heard it from blocks and avenues away and shock their apartment and glass everywhere. And the mayor bill de blasio did not want to say jump and say they knew the motivation but all he said it was this was an in tensional act and did not want to taye they knew anything stay whether or not this was terroristmotivated. But Governor Cuomo said this about perhaps the motivation behind this bomb. Now, it depends on your
definition of terrorism. A bomb exploding in new york is obviously a act of terrorism, but it is not linked tonight terrorism. In other words, we find no isis connection, et cetera. Reporter that second device found on four blocks away from hereby, the appreciapressure co been detonated in the bronx at an nypd range. Harris. On this last weekend of summer people have big plans and events going on but jittery nerves here in new new jersey, minnesota and all over really. So is there anything that they stepped up to keep everybody safe . What is different at this point . Reporter a thousand plus of National Guardsmen and Police Authorities are now all throughout the city as a precaution. The governor said that new yorkers should go about their daily lives but be vigilant. We are seeing hercules teams,
men that are heavily armed and the United NationsGeneral Assembly is happening this week already the most secure event of the year in new york city and the mayor said expect this to be the most secure and the most nypd presence that new yorkers have really ever seen. Harris. Bryan llenas, thank you very much. And lets move on to the attack at a Shopping Mall in suburban minneapolis, minnesota. A man with a knife put nine people in the hospital and was reportedly making references to allah and asked one victims about religion. Are you muslim. An offduty Police Officer became a hero in that. In the city of st. Cloud, here is the mayor. To me, in watching it, it looks like a training video for the Law Enforcement, what Law Enforcement should do. Clearly he made a decision and if not for him being there, clearly this would have been much worse than it was. Dan springer is following this investigation from our west coast news hub. And dan, the latest now on the investigation and decidedly they are saying this officer really saved a lot of lives. Yeah, absolutely, harris, good evening. Isis has claimed responsibility. The fbi and the joint Terrorism Task force is taking the lead. This is being called the potential act of terrorism. And they have impounded the suspects car and searched two apartments connected to him. The attack happened around 8 00 at the Shopping Mall in st. Cloud, minnesota, about an hour outside of minneapolis. Witnesses say a man dressed as a private Security Guard took a knife and stabbed people, as many people as he could. He managed to injure nine people, seven men and two women before an offduty officer shot and killed him. That officer being called a hero tonight because he took down the suspect as he was being lunged at three times. Truly, if not for his actions, things would have been worse. Had an opportunity to speak to him about half an hour ago. He clearly prevented additional
injuries and potentially loss of life through his heroic actions. Reporter and three of the victims are still in the hospital. Their conditions are said to be nonlifethreatening, harris. So what about the suspect . What do we know . Reporter well police are not releasing his name. We do know that he lived in the area. He did have three separate contacts with Law Enforcement, all minor traffic violations. The Islamic State is calling him one of their soldiers. They released a statement through isisrelated media. Counterterrorism Officials Say the source has been credible in the past but it is increasingly taking responsibility for attacks which really have not been direced by isis but rather just lone wolf attacks inspired by radical muslim. And they wouldnt say if the knife attacker is on a terror watch list but they are digging into every aspect of his life. Police arent confirming that he is part of the large Somali Community in the area but leaders of that Community Held a
news conference to denounce the act. Here is what they said. The news of the st. Cloud mall was shocking to the friends and relatives and the community of the deceased. Reporter the fbi has conducted several terror investigations into the minneapolis area because isis has done heavy recruiting there. In fact, three months ago three somali men were found guilty of terrorrelated charges. And that adds to a long list there. Thank you very much, dan. We move on. The president ial candidates are reacting to all it. Hillary clinton and donald trump delivering swift comments right after the explosions in manhattan injured people last night. Just before i got off the plane, a bomb went off in new york and nobody knows exactly what is going on. But boy, we are living in a time we better get very tough, folks, we better get very, very tough. Well do everything we can to support our First Responders,
and pray for the victims and ill have more to say about it when we actually know some facts. And as the investigation in three states now continues to come together, Hillary ClintonsTeam Released a new statement a couple of hours ago and here is part of it and notice the nuance here. I strongly condemn the apparent terrorist attacks in minnesota, new jersey, new york. I pray for all of those who were wounded and for their families. One again, we saw the bravery of our First Responders who run toward danger to help others. Their quick actions saved lives, end quote. Trump reached out with a tweet. Would you like to express my warmest regards and condolences to all of the families and victims of the horrible bombing in nyc. Joining me is john rodgers and a retired Lieutenant Commander for the office of naval and good to see you and i want to start with Hillary Clintons statement because i mentioned the nuance
and i didnt get to it. She went on to say, with what happened in minnesota, isis has claimed responsibility for the attack in minnesota and this should steel our resolve to protect our country and defeat isis and other terror groups. I have a plan a counterterrorism plan to do just that. Does she have access to something that maybe we havent heard about yet. That seems to be a shift . I dont believe so. Look, she had her opportunity when she was secretary of state to deal with isis. We know about benghazi and all of the problems in the mideast. She simply made a statement that was a political statement. You compare that to donald trump and ive got to tell you, hes been consistent and made it clear the way we deal with terrorism is through strength. So you contrast what she said which was kind of weak compared to what he said which has always been from a position of strength. Well step away from the politics and started there because we were coming out of her statement. When i travel to minnesota in late june, reporting on this very program in June Revealed a new trend in the twin cities
where the fbi has opened the fourth counterterrorism and we have seen another man charged there and they are calling the latest an incident, not terrorism yet or maybe not at all, but they are not investigating this in a vacuum. What is significant about the trends were seeing in that particular state. Well first of all, you have nearly 20,000 or more somali migrants in minnesota. Half of which are young men. Now al shabab is the terrorist group dominated somalia and as you know, harris, that means youth movement. So i believe that these terrorist groups and particularly the ones out of somalia are targeting young people, recruiting young people, probably more so than in any other state right here. Because that is why you are seeing a bit of a spike in this in this state. But keep in mind that our nation is under siege here. Were under attack. And these terrorist groups are going after young people who are
very, very disenfranchised for some reason for fr this country and have a problem. So well see more of this and we better wake up. And were waiting to learn owl of the demographics and details about the suspect. And in each of these situations, i want to move now to new york and new jersey, and just talk with you about what is likely going on behind the scenes because you have worked these counterterrorism cases before. What are they doing . Well you have the greatest Law Enforcement in the world on this. And what they are doing is going through through forensics and looking at and very successful as we can see in comparing doing a comparison analysis from the bomb in new york and new jersey. And saying that, it is important that they commit the person or persons who committed this act alive because that is how you find the motive. Right now we have someone out there and we dont know if they are connected to a International Terrorist organization or given
execute orders or we dont know if one person is involved. Someone could have drove this person to different locations. But that is what is exactly going on behind the scenes. An absolute manhunt nationwide, maybe internationally, to find this individual before they strike again. Before i let you go, and news conferences today we were hearing the words, just like text book, like a training exercise, all three of the states reacted so well and you saw the one offduty Police Officer in minnesota and we are learned a lot but what with r we lacking, what gap is there that you see. There is always a gap when it comes to intelligence gathering and ive said tor two years the department of Homeland Security has to fund local Police Department and the street cops and they know the who, what, when, where and why and they could give us the intelligence we need and fill that gap.

Want to check in now on the nation where the Islamic State savages are nesting like scorpions in the back drop of a civil war, syria. Latest on the ceasefire is that it seems to be unraveling. The United States and russia put together that deal as you know. But fighting is once guenin creasing in syria. Conner powell is live in jerusalem now with more. Reporter harris, the
ceasefire is crumbling as fighting is increasing. The agreement had reduced violence across the country significantly this week since the truce went into effect on monday night. But saturday the pentagon admitted u. S. And Coalition Jets mistakenly bombed a Syrian Military outpost killing more than 60 syrian troops. Pentagon officials said the u. S. Jets thought they were striking isis fighters. Russia, however, dismissed the american excuse, calling the attack intentional and accuse the u. S. Of helping isis. The diplomatic rowl comes as forces in violation of the truce have once again began to strike Syrian Forces in aleppo. As part of the agreement and the sign between the cooperation between the u. S. And russia, the two countries were to set up a joint Intelligence Center in geneva but with the ceasefire crumbling that looks in jeopardy. Harris. And back here at home, an
